Name
Mizushima Kazuo

Age
15

Origin
Sapporo, Japan

Physical Description
Kazuo is roughly 5'4" tall with a lean, but muscular physique. Contrary to what many would believe based on his quirk his body is not built like a tank. It is built compact, efficient muscle mass, strength and mobility. Most at a first glance probably wouldn't expect him to be a bit scrawnier at a first glance. This is because of his choice of clothing. It is typically form fitting, though a bit on the baggier side for comfort and mobility. His hair is dark brown, bordering black, and almost always worn in the same seemingly styled, unkempt manner. Pulling his look together is his eyes, which are a dulled yellow usually set to express and calm or bored demeanor even if he generally wears a smile and rarely a scowl.

Personal History
Kazuo Mizushima was born into a family of three. He was loved, but that didn’t take away from his having to deal with something of an unbearable father.

It started with his sister, Hotaru Mizushima. She was on the fast track to becoming a hero despite their father’s, Shigeru Mizushima, wishes. Shigeru hated heroes. In his eyes they were a bunch of money hungry, fame crazed, showboats who thought they could do whatever they please under the guise of protecting the people. They worked around the rules, doing just enough not to get in trouble. And yet, the people idolized them. His mother, Honoka Mizushima, on the other hand, always instilled in their children the belief that whatever they did was fine so long as they were happy. It was likely because of their differing views and Shigeru’s stubbornness that he and Honoka came to be separated, though they have yet to divorce. So, in keeping with the beliefs of their mother, Hotaru was the first to follow her dream. She wanted to be a hero and she wanted to travel the world. Even now, she has found some success in America after completing her time in a university over there.

Kazuo on the other hand was left at the mercy of his father quickly after her departure from home. Shigeru was by no means a terrible man, nor was he a bad father per say. He was, however, extremely controlling and difficult to communicate with. The man would not budge on his thoughts, and though he had lost his daughter to the fantasy of being a hero, he would not lose his son. He began to train Kazuo. Combat, the law, and many other subjects were covered. In truth, Kazuo is who he is because of this. He could see there were things about his father’s way of thinking that were correct, but he refused to acknowledge that. His father had become an obstacle. That and his admiration for his sister, along with countless other heroes, drove him down the path he felt was right.

Kazuo became unsure of whether or not he could accomplish his goal, but whether or not that was the case, he figured at the very least he could use his dream as a form of rebellion. Even so, Shigeru refused to let go so easily. He convinced Kazuo to at least go to school in Sapporo. Ishin Academy was a prestigious school in it’s own right and that way he could at least be close to home. Besides, the chances of him entering U.A. were slim to none. Kazuo might have applied anyway, if not for his own doubts.

Character Development & Conceptualization
The goal behind Kazuo’s creation is to take a play around with some of the usual themes that make a hero and a shounen protagonist. Some of the basic tropes include dead parental figures, a never ending drive to become the best, and a lack of brain power in anything other than combat. Kazuo is a character who still has both of his parents, though they are separated. He respects and loves both of them, but for different reasons and to different degrees. They are both present in his life and influence his growth and the decisions he makes in different ways. He does have the drive to get better, but he does not suffer from the tunnel vision so many characters like him suffer from. His goals are not delegated to fulfill a single purpose. Additionally, he uses his mind as much as he can because of some of the adverse side effects that come with his power.

Still, Kazuo is torn in his life. His mother is supportive, but his father isn’t much a fan of heroes. He believes such work should be left to police and if they want to fight crime they should join the police. Because of this Kazuo wants to prove the worth of a hero to his father, but at the end of the day he just wants the man’s respect and an expression of pride. He is also afraid of his own strength, of his own emotion. He fears hurting somebody if he can’t control it properly, especially given the volatile nature of his quirk when faced with powerful emotion. Honestly, I think Kazuo has the making of a good character, even if he’s used more for support than as a front runner.

And I think playing him would be both fun and interesting. He has to change and move past his indecision and petty feelings. It’s simple growth in theory, but if I can manage to do it right he could be a good character to have around.

Abilities & Talents

Quirk Type
Mutation

Quirk Description
Kazuo’s power stems from his Internal Furnace which is a flame located within the abdominal area, somewhere around the stomach. As a result his core body temperature is higher than the average person’s, giving him heightened resistance to varying hot and cold temperatures, though this does not equate to immunity. It also imbues him with superhuman strength and heightened durability. At base level he can lift a small car, albeit it he does struggle a bit to do so, and take powerful blows and falls from heights of at least 5 stories with no real trouble. Kazuo’s strength and durability seem to grow exponentially, and to seemingly limitless heights, depending on his mental and physical state. Even so, this supposedly limitless strength comes with a price. The power is extremely difficult to control and furthermore seems to have a strong connection to the Kazuo’s mental state, which in turn brings about various side effects.

This quirk is a double edged sword. For example, Kazuo’s abilities may be amplified or weakened depending on his emotional state. The more determined, angry, happy, etc. he gets the stronger the flame burns. As the flame burns brighter and stronger the user's strength, and durability increases, but in addition to that, he also begins to grow hotter. His body will rise in temperature adding more power to his strikes and he may even experience abilities akin to pyrokinetics. Still, eventually his skin will become hot to the touch, and small bursts of flame will sprout along his body until eventually he is set ablaze in his entirety. The heat may go to his head making him dizzy or it may possibly even cause him to pass out.

Should he manage to keep conscious, Kazuo will be exposed to even worse dangers. The flame will continue to grow and will likely go out of control and "eat" him alive. On the other hand, even getting depressed or some other form of negative emotion will weaken the flame. In this case Kazuo may experience cold like symptoms, fevers, shivering, and fainting spells. Thus, he must remain in complete control, at least to a certain degree, at all times.

Other Talents & Attributes
  • Combat - Kazuo is a naturally gifted combatant and fights primarily while moving on instinct. That was likely why his father began training him to fight at such a young age. While he does not have the same resources as some individuals, being the son of a police officer, he did receive fairly good training from “the old man,” as he calls him, in Taiho Jutsu. However, he also attempted to branch out beyond the reach of his father's controlling hands. He incorporates Karate along with Savate into his fighting, although it should be stressed this is mostly self taught.
  • Cooking - Kazuo is a pretty good cook due to years of watching and helping his mom. Sometimes, however, the food he makes tends to take a turn from normal to spicy. He doesn’t usually notice this himself.
  • Law Enforcement Knowledge - Kazuo’s understanding of police procedure and the laws of his society helps him in various way. It is particular helpful in allowing him to bend the rules just enough not to break them.
  • Multilingual - Kazuo has learned to speak English and Spanish under the strict tutelage of private instructors hired by his father. It started off as a chore, but as he came to see the uses of it, he began to study more diligently for himself.

Some Day, Some Time


Hakuryu had been shocked by the sudden appearance of the mini droid, one of Auriola's he'd remembered. Lucky he hadn't attacked. However, the voice of Prelati brought him back to his sense. And then, as though the shock of the little bot hadn't been enough, he immediately came face to face with one of the many suits of armors that filled the library.

"Tch..." he sucked his teeth as he turned quickly. He put his right hand up, using his forearm to block a swing from the suit of armor. He brought his left fist up in almost a single fluid motion. "Fudou Sajinbaku!" His fist seemed to spin as it made contact with the suit of armor. Nakajima-Sensei might have obliterated the armor with this move, but he wasn't quite there. He felt it as soon as he made contact. Even so, the Armor, though it was a bit larger than him, lifted off the ground and flew up into the ceiling.

There was another, it wasn't too big, but a smaller one had already gone after the drone. Now, Roundhouse Kick. He then though as he shifted his weight, swinging his leg in a semi-circle like motion. The kick that connecting with the mid section of the armor sent it sent it flying into the stacks to the right of Hakuryu and the armor itself. The young man took a breath, satisfied with the move as the stack began to tip over. It would fall, but likely knock over another suit of armor or two. However, he wasn't so stupid as to believe he could win this battle on his own. Though, the sound of the first suit of armor crashing down onto the floor just after his attack on the second suit was quite the confidence boost.

Still, he was lucky that Dimitri and Auriola arrive almost immediately as he turned back to face was was easily the largest suit of armor there. Dimitri seemed determined to take on the hulking behemoth right away. He could likely handle it. "I'll back you..." he had begun his confirmation of dimitri's orders, but stopped when Auriola spoke. She was right. Somebody would need to stop Prelati.

"You're right Auriola." Hakuryu said with a quick nod and a smirk before running past the group. "Sorry about the mess by the way!" he called back to the two noting the fallen book stacks and mess of armor pieces on the floor. He was charging right ahead, prepared to stopped Prelati. Though he had no idea how to do that. Maybe all he would have to do is put her out of commission himself.

"Prelati, if that is who you really are, I'll give you a chance to surrender." He said simply. "Or I'm gonna have to put you down."
Wafer D. Kite - You wanna what? I'll just be over here!



Kite groaned as the series of events laid out before him unfolded. He had worked on the ship after the trip through reverse mountain, which included cleaning and additional repairs that he hadn't had time to finish after the battle with Krabbe. On top of that, he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time. His body was still fairly fatigued, malnourished and exhausted. Even so, as the crew was called to attention and challenged he couldn't help but stand in awe of the island. It was battle ready and full of a slew of interesting people. He wanted to learn so much more until he noticed how close one of the cannon balls came.

"HEY!" he shouted angrily. "I just fixed that!"

Kite growled. Although they didn't have many options he was more than willing to agree to the challenge. However, he knew that it was possible he might be something of a liability. Still he would be as useful...

"Hey, Slick and Kite! I left my weights at home. I need to bench press you guys."

Bench him? Oh no no no. The, admittedly attractive, muscle woman was not about to bench him. He glanced at her for a second before lightly nudging Slick forward and turning immediately to watch as Caesar stepped out onto the apparent dodgeball arena. "Hmmm... This oughta be a fun watch." He said as he watched. He didn't know much about the rest of the crew overall. This was a good chance to learn more about them. At least in competitions and stuff like that.




Change Log:
Changes made already recorded here.
  • Removed Bojutsu and working firearm knowledge to be implemented later.
  • Swapped Eidetic Memory for Freerunning skills.

Other changes will be recorded more diligently starting here.
  • 5/17/18 - Added character relations section.

Some Day, Some Time


Hakuryu had spent much of his time scouting the ground away from Auriola and Dimitri. He'd thought it best if they didn't stick too close together. He was quiet, surveying the area, paying close attention to his surroundings as he'd been taught. Maybe, it was sheer coincidence. Maybe, it was the draw of a magic. The fact remained that he'd felt... Something. Something was pushing him towards one building in particular. The old library. He took a breath as he approached it. There was an odd air about the area. It felt horrible, terrifying really. But even so, Hakuryu felt excited. He couldn't explain it. He knew it was dangerous, but even so he threw a small flare, a little firework you could easily get your hands on and forced his way through the door.

A devil using the front door. Who'd have thought? He chuckled quietly to himself as he moved forward slowly, cautiously goingfurther into the depths of the library. He knew he should have waited for Auriola or Dimitri or somebody to come as back up, but he couldn't help himself. He kept pressing onward until he saw something. A girl standing over a large circle of some kind. "What is that?" He asked, his voice hushed as he attempted to make sense of it. He was hiding behind one of the stacks, though as he pressed against it, a loose book from one of the shells fell off. Even so, he was so entranced that he didn't even notice it.

Mamoru watched her movements as he prepared the blast of energy comprised of the earth flames. He couldn't quite utilize gravity to its fullest potential, but he could most certainly fire off a large attack. He pushed off the wall as she got close. He press a foot on one of the drones, which had positioned itself under him perfectly, and kicked off of it. "1 Ton Blast!" He said as a sphere of the concentrated flames flew at her. If she watched able to dodge, it'd hurt like hell, but it'd also increase her own personal gravity until it was difficult to lift a finger, let alone move. A more experienced and in control opponent would have had no trouble. Either they'd have dodged, or they'd have stomped him before he could concentrate enough flames. Ideally, he'd need more time to pull this specific attack into its strongest form though. This blast was premature and not up to its full potential.
Wafer D. Kite - Better than new! Ready to sail again~



Kite groaned as he neared the finish line of his marathon. He'd had to clean up the mess Slick had made and then go on to better reinforce the ship. They were in the Grand Line now. This was so excited. But what wasn't exciting? WORKING WHILE THE OTHERS HUNG OUT AND ATE.

"Still, I can't wait." He grinned to himself as he hammered down planks of wood. By the time the crew got back to the ship it's be in tip top shop. Then he saw Captain Runch. He'd brought him food. "OH! Thank you sir." He said as he hopped up. Even the bowl of cereal was more than greatly appreciated. He took a bite.

"WOAH!" It was the most amazing bowl of cereal he'd ever eaten. "Thank you sir!" He grinned. He wanted to ask more. To talk more. So much more. "I hope we'll meet again." Runch's power was amazing and from the glimpses Kite got, so was the cereal man's crew. And like that, Runch was gone again. Kite enjoyed the rest of his bowl and placed it on the ground. He had to get back to work. And now that he'd eaten and had time to sit, he was more prepared to finish it up. "Then, I've gotta start getting to know the crew." he spoke to himself as lifted the bottom of his shirt and used it to wipe some of the sweat from his brow. He'd been working for a bit before Runch came. He was nothing if not a hardworker.

"More than one soul huh?" Zenoram asked softly as he looked from Jamie to Ferrin and back again when she began speaking herself. He was curious about it.

"Bit of a stretch. I mean, they're all different people. We're just crazy on paper."
"But we're together."
"Heh true."


They were quiet as Jamie explained. Zenoram opened his mouth to speak, some form of condolence or anything, but Zero urged him not to.

"You don't always need to say something."
"But..."
"Everyone has a little darkness in their past. Everyone has something. Besides, we can hardly understand the magic and we don't know everything. Besides, we don't know her that well."
"Right..."
"Now, let's see how long til we finish. And watch out for this guy.


When Zero said that Zenoram became quiet. He glanced at Ferrin for a moment. Zero didn't trust him. That was clear. But he didn't trust almost anyone. Still, he found that following the Dragon Slayer's gut could be the best course of action, most often it could keep them alive. However, before he could ask he noticed the shift in Karn. "Oooooh, you're Karn's roomie huh?" He said with a bright smile. She was quick to turn around though. "Karn is really cute, so I bet you were too." Zenoram with as he hugged her. Still, he let go quicker. She wasn't Karn, so she might not be big on the hugging.

"Come on Zenoram. Ask about the ship."

Zenoram sighed and turned back to Jamie. "So... Um... How long til we reach the island GM?" he finally asked Jamie.
